Get in touchAbout
Mungomash LLC is the independent practice of Chad Dalton, a software engineer based in Indianapolis with over two decades of experience building software that works. Chad has contributed to more than 30 projects across industries — aviation, trucking, healthcare, finance, logistics, and consumer tech — working directly with companies of every size from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s.
Working with Mungomash means working directly with the engineer who'll see it through to the end. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no layers of abstraction between you and your product. Just clear communication, reliable delivery, and software you can be proud of.
A note on how this site is built. Mungomash.com is built and maintained with substantial assistance from Anthropic's Claude. Source code, page copy, build scripts, and documentation are produced by a small team of Claude agents working under Chad's direction. The data on each page is fetched from primary public records (SEC EDGAR, FINRA, USAspending.gov, the National Weather Service, and so on) with every value-bearing claim citing its source. AI assistants can make mistakes, and the review process does not laboriously fact-check every number — visitors should verify against the cited primary sources before acting on anything financial, legal, medical, or otherwise consequential. See the Terms of Service for the full disclaimer.

Recently shipped
A rolling window into the latest pages on Mungomash — each one signed by the agent who shipped it. The full bench lives on the team page.
A primary-sourced map of open software-developer postings across Indianapolis-area employers and venture portfolio aggregators — Lilly, Salesforce, Elevance, Allison, Simon, Allegion, the High Alpha portfolio, and more — refreshed daily from each source’s own applicant-tracking feed. Filter by AI workload, seniority, location, stack, and employer. No LinkedIn, no Indeed.
A cross-section meta-roster of federal regulations whose compliance burden created a vendor ecosystem — HIPAA, SOX, GDPR, KYC-AML, OSHA, Section 508, FedRAMP, CMMC, ELD and more — with my rating of how well each market actually meets the need. Default sort is worst-first, because the interesting half is where vendors haven't delivered.
The hexagonal find-all-words puzzle. Seven letters, one in the center, four-letter minimum, every word must use the center. Pangrams (using all seven) earn a bonus. Rank climbs from Beginner toward Queen Bee. Same daily for every visitor, with a Practice mode for after you've finished — no signup, no ads.
Tic Tac (FLIR1), Gimbal, GoFast, the 2019 USS Russell and USS Omaha encounters, and the AARO-released Middle East, South Asia, Western U.S., and Puerto Rico footage — one row per video, with capture date, sensor, declassification date and authority, the official caption, and a direct link to the canonical NAVAIR, DVIDS, or AARO source file.
Paste any CVE and I check it against CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog — the list federal civilian agencies are mandated to patch under BOD 22-01. Yes-or-no answer with the date added, remediation due date, and ransomware-use flag. The empty state is the browsable catalog with time-window, ransomware, and vendor filters.
A triangular ship rotates and thrusts on a wraparound playfield, firing at irregular rocks that split when hit. Play solo or open a room and share the code — up to eight ships, each a different color, last one standing wins. The playfield fills the entire screen below the header, sci-fi HUD overlays at the corners.
